The present disclosure relates to a display device and a terminal for controlling the same, and more particularly, to a display device of which power is turned on by a packet outputted from a terminal in a state in which the power is turned off or which is capable of performing a specific operation while turning on the power, and a terminal that is capable of controlling the display device so that the power of the display device is turned on, or the display device performs a specific operation while turning on the power.
Display devices are devices having functions of receiving, processing, and displaying an image to be viewed to a user. For example, such a display device receives a broadcast signal selected by a user from broadcast signals transmitted from the broadcasting station, separates an image signal from the received signal, and displays the separated image signal on a display.
In recent years, due to development of broadcasting technologies and network technologies, display devices have been considerably diversified in function and thus improved in performance. That is, display devices have been developed to provide various other contents as well as just broadcasted contents to a user. For example, display devices may provide game play, music appreciation, internet shopping, and user-customized information by various applications as well as programs received from the broadcasting stations. To perform such an extended function, display devices may be basically connected to other devices or networks by using various communication protocols and provide ubiquitous computing to the user. That is, display devices have evolved into smart devices that enable connectivity to networks and ubiquitous computing.
In a state in which power of such a display device is turned off, there is a method of turning on the power of the display device through a terminal (for example, a smart phone). For example, when the terminal includes an infrared transceiver, the terminal may transmits an infrared signal to the display device to turn on the power of the display device. Alternatively, when the terminal and the display device are connected to each other through the network, a signal for turning on the power of the display device may be transmitted through the network.
However, in the methods according to the related art, there is an inefficient aspect that the terminal has to include the infrared transceiver or to be previously connected to the display device through the network. A vehicle typically includes a power source, such as an internal combustion engine vehicle, an external combustion engine vehicle, a gas turbine vehicle, an electric vehicle, etc. according to a type of motor used.
An electric vehicle typically utilizes an electric motor using electric energy and includes a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), etc.
Recently, intelligent vehicles have been actively developed for safety or convenience of a driver or pedestrian.
An intelligent vehicle is an advanced vehicle implementing information technology (IT) and is sometimes referred to as a “smart vehicle.” Some intelligent vehicles provide improved traffic efficiency by implementing an advanced vehicle system and via association with an intelligent traffic system (ITS).
In addition, research into sensors mounted in such an intelligent vehicle has been actively conducted. Such sensors typically include, for example, a camera, an infrared sensor, a radar, a global positioning system (GPS), a Lidar, or a gyroscope. In particular, a camera is often an important sensor playing the role of human eyes.

In wireless communication environments, a distribution key scheme is used for identification and encoding, and security capability of a key depends on performance of an algorithm in a distributing device.
The GAP layer may be a layer that is newly implemented for a BLE technology different from the existing Bluetooth. The GAP layer is used to control how role selection and multi-profile operations occur for communication between the low energy devices and also is mainly used for device search, connection occurrence, and security procedures.
There is an attribute protocol as a newly added layer. The attribute protocol is used to communicate with a server and a client and has an attribute handle that is used by the client to access attributes in the server. For example, protocol operation commands include “request”, “response”, “command”, “notification”, and the like. A genetic attribute profile (GATT) layer is also a newly added layer. The GATT layer uses an attribute protocol to define service frameworks, service formats, and procedures. The procedures define setting of discovering, reading, writing, notify, and indicating characteristics.
In this embodiment, when the power of the display device 100 is turned off, the controller 170 may control the Bluetooth module 162 so that the Bluetooth module 162 operates in the wake-up mode. In this case, the Bluetooth module 162 may continuously operate even when the power of the display device 100 is turned off. That is, in the protocol structure of
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described.
In the following descriptions of this specification, the packet outputted by the display device 100 and the terminal 300 may correspond to an advertising packet by the BLE technology. In general, the advertising packet may be used to notify that a device for outputting the advertising packet exists to other peripheral devices so as to connect the device to the other peripheral devices. The advertising packet may be broadcasted to the periphery thereof to allow a plurality of peripheral devices disposed around the corresponding device to receive the advertising packet.
However, the packet outputted according to an embodiment is not limited to only the advertising packet by the BLE technology, but may include various kinds of packets having similar uses.
Referring to
Particularly, when the power of the display device 100 is turned off, the controller 170 of the display device 100 may control the Bluetooth module 162 so that the Bluetooth module 162 is switched in operation mode to operate in the wake-up mode. The wake-up mode may represent a mode in which the Bluetooth module 162 periodically broadcasts the advertising packet and receives a packet outputted in response to a wake-up request of the display device 100 from a specific terminal receiving the broadcasted advertising packet to turn on (wake up) the power of the display device 100.
According to an embodiment, the controller 170 may determine whether the wake-up mode is switched based on whether a registered (or permitted) wake-up registration device exists to turn on the power of the display device 100. For example, when information of the terminal, which is registered to turn on the power of the display device 100, does not exist, the controller 170 may not switch the operation mode of the Bluetooth module 162 into the wake-up mode even though the power of the display device 100 is turned off. The information of the registered terminal may include at least one of a MAC address and a Bluetooth device address of the terminal.
The first packet may include a variety of information for identification of the display device 100. For example, the first packet may include the MAC address and/or the Bluetooth device address of the display device 100.
The controller 165 of the Bluetooth module 162 may control the RF transceiver 163 to broadcast the first packet. A transmission distance of the first packet broadcasted by the RF transceiver 163 may be within about 40 m, but this is not limited thereto.
The terminal 300 may receive the first packet outputted (broadcasted) from the display device 100 (S102). For example, when a distance between the terminal 300 and the display device 100 is less than the transmission distance of the first packet, the terminal 300 may receive the first packet.
The terminal 300 may identify the display device 100 on the basis of the received first packet (S103).
Particularly, the terminal 300 may identify the display device 100 by using the MAC address or the Bluetooth device address of the display device 100, which are included in the first packet.
The terminal 300 may determine whether the identified display device 100 is a wake-up enabled device (S104).
The wake-up enabled device represents a device that is registered in the terminal 300 so that a specific packet is outputted to turn on the power even though the terminal 300 is not connected. The terminal 300 may store information of at least one wake-up enabled device. The information of the at least one wake-up enabled device may include a MAC address and/or a Bluetooth device address of the corresponding device.
When the identified display device 100 corresponds to the wake-up enabled device, the terminal 300 may display a wake-up list including the information of the display device 100 on the display unit 351 (S105).
The wake-up list may include information of at least one device corresponding to a wake-up enabled device of a plurality of devices existing within a predetermined distance from the terminal 300. The plurality of devices existing within the predetermined distance may represent that the first packet outputted from each of the plurality of devices is received to the terminal 300.
The terminal 300 may receive a wake-up request about the display device 100 on the basis of the displayed wake-up list (S106).
For example, the controller 380 of the terminal 300 may receive an input for selecting at least one device included in the wake-up list displayed through the display unit 351 to wake up the display device 100, thereby receiving the wake-up request.
According to an embodiment, the controller 380 may receive a request for executing a specific function (or a specific application, and the like) of the display device 100 together with the wake-up of the display device 100. For example, the controller 380 may receive a request for executing the wake-up and the screen mirroring of the display device 100. Related examples will be described in more detail with reference to
The terminal 300 may generate a second packet in response to the received wake-up request to output the generated second packet (S107).
For example, the second packet may include at least one of a MAC address of the terminal 300, a Bluetooth device address of the display device 100, and a Bluetooth device address of the terminal 300.
According to an embodiment, when the terminal 300 receives the wake-up and screen mirroring execution request, the second packet may further include information corresponding to the screen mirroring execution request.
The second packet may also correspond to an advertising packet, but is not limited thereto.
The display device 100 may receive the second packet outputted from the terminal 300 (S108) to identify the terminal 300 on the basis of the received second packet (S109).
When the Bluetooth device address of the display device 100 is included in the second packet received through the RF transceiver 163, the controller 165 may identify the terminal 300 on the basis of the MAC address or the Bluetooth device address of the terminal 300, which are included in the second packet.
When the identified terminal 300 corresponds to the wake-up registration device (YES in operation S110), the power of the display device 100 may be turned on (woken up) (S111).
When the identified terminal 300 is the wake-up registration device, the controller 165 may transmit a signal to the controller 170 or the power supply unit 190 to turn on the power of the display device 100.
According to an embodiment, when the information about the screen mirroring execution request is further included in the second packet, the display device 100 may execute the screen mirroring without a separate additional input after the power of the display device 100 is turned on.
Referring to
A head H of the PDU may include information about a type of second packet (connectability and whether the packet is to be received) and a length of a payload. An advertising address ADV_ADDR may include the MAC address of the device that has output the second packet, i.e., the terminal 300.
Advertising data ADV_DATA included in the PDU of the second packet may include information about a Bluetooth device address BD_ADDR1 of the display device 100 that outputs the first packet, a Bluetooth device address BD_ADDR2 of the terminal 300 that outputs the second packet, and a request (or a command) received in the operation S106 of
When the Bluetooth device address BD_ADDR1 of the display device 100 is included in the second packet, the display device 100 receiving the second packet may identify the terminal 300, which outputs the second packet, on the basis of at least one of the advertising data ADV_DATA and the Bluetooth device address BD_ADDR2.
When the identified terminal 300 corresponds to the wake-up registration device, the display device 100 may perform an operation corresponding to a request CMD included in the second packet. For example, when the request CMD is the wake-up request, the power of the display device 100 may be turned on. For another example, when the request CMD is the wake-up and screen mirroring execution request, the screen mirroring function may be executed while the power of the display device 100 is turned on.
According to the embodiment described with reference to
According to the embodiment described with reference to
An additional embodiment for solving the above-described mistake will be described with reference to
Referring to
Unlike the first packet of
Referring to
According to an embodiment, the advertising data ADV_DATA of the first packet may further include additional information such as a power state of the display device 100 and information about a supportable function or application.
The description will be made again with reference to
Since the operations S202 to S206 are substantially the same as the operations S102 to S106, their detailed descriptions will be omitted.
When the wake-up request about the display device 100 is received, the terminal 300 may generate a second packet, of which at least a portion is encoded, by using encoding information (S207).
That is, unlike the second packet of
Referring to
The encoding may represent a case in which at least a portion of the advertising data ADV_DATA is encoded (e.g., an XOR operation, etc.) by using the encoding information. Alternatively, the encoding may represent a case in which at least a portion of the encoding information is inserted in a predetermined position of the advertising data ADV_DATA. That is, the encoding represents that at least a portion of the advertising data ADV_DATA is changed. Since the encoding method is defined between the display device 100 and the terminal 300 that is the wake-up registration device of the display device 100, other devices may not have information about the encoding method. Thus, security for the second packet outputted by the terminal 300 may be improved.
Referring again to
The display device 100 may decode the second packet on the basis of the encoding information included in the first packet outputted in the operation S201. According to an embodiment, when the first packet is periodically outputted, and the encoding information is changed every time the first packet is outputted, the display device 100 may perform the decoding by using each of a plurality of pieces of encoding information included in the plurality of first packets outputted between a time point before a reference time from the current time point and the current time point.
Since the operations S211 and S212 are substantially the same as the operations S110 to S111, their detailed descriptions will be omitted.
According to the embodiment described with reference to
Referring to
The display device 100 may receive a second packet corresponding to a response of the outputted first packet to identify the terminal 300 on the basis of the received second packet (S403 & S404).
When the identified terminal 300 corresponds to the wake-up registration device of the display device (YES in operation S405), the controller 165 may transmit a trigger signal for the wake-up (turn-on) of the display device 100 to the controller 170. The trigger signal may be transmitted to the controller 170 through the HCI 161 of
According to the above-described embodiments, when the power of the display device 100 is turned off, the wake-up request of the display device 100 may be received from an external terminal while minimizing power consumption by using the Bluetooth module 162 supporting the BLE technology. The display device 100 may be conveniently turned on by using the portable terminal 300 without having a separate remote controller.
Referring to
When the user selects the accept button 411 provided on the confirmation window 410, the display device 100 may register the terminal 300 as the wake-up registration device and store identification information (e.g., the MAC address and the like) of the terminal 300 in the storage unit 140.
Referring to
Hereinafter, embodiments in which an additional function or applicator is executed while the power of the display device 100 is turned on by the second packet outputted from the terminal 300 will be described with reference to
Referring to
The terminal 300 may receive the first packet to identify the display device 100. Here, when the identified display device 100 is the wake-up enabled device, the terminal 300 may display a wake-up list including the information of the display device 100.
The terminal 300 may receive a wake-up and screen mirroring execution request of the display device 100 from the user. The screen mirroring function represents a function of display a screen 500, which is displayed on the display unit 351 of the terminal 300, on a display unit 180 of the display device 100 in the same manner.
The terminal 300 may output a second packet P2 including information about the wake-up and mirroring execution request. The second packet P2 may correspond to the second packet that is described with reference to
Referring to
Referring to
The terminal 300 may output a second packet P2 including information about the received wake-up and music application execution request.
Referring to
Although not shown, when the terminal 300 receives the first packet from the display device 100, an installation screen of an application related to the display device 100 may be automatically displayed, or a registration process between the application and the display device 100 may be automatically executed.
Alternatively, when the terminal 300 receives the first packet from the display device 100 at the same time as an alarm time set in the terminal 300 or within a reference range, the terminal 300 may automatically output the second packet including the wake-up request without receiving the wake-up request of the display device 100 from the user.
That is, the terminal 300 may conveniently turn on the power of the display device 100 through a short-range wireless communication scheme such as the BLE technology and also control the display device 100 to additionally execute a desired function or application while turning on the power of the display device 100, thereby simplifying the procedure for executing the corresponding function or application. Therefore, user's convenience may be improved.
According to the embodiment, event through the power of the display device is turned off, since the user is capable of turning on the power of the display device through the terminal, which is hold at any time by the user, the use convenience of the display device may be improved.
Also, since the user is capable of turning on the power of the display device and also requesting the additional function or the execution of the application at one time, the number of manipulation performed by the user may be reduced to improve the convenience.
In addition, when the power of the display device is turned on, since the power of the display device is turned on by receiving the wake-up request from the terminal through the Bluetooth technology, the power consumption of the display device may be reduced.
Also, since the terminal outputs the second packet that is encoded based on the encoding information included in the first packet outputted from the display device, the security between the display device and the terminal may be improved.
The above-described embodiments may be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable medium in which a program is stored.
